In the
area between Rome and Naples, in Lazio and Campania regions, there are several
small towns worth visiting such as the medieval borgo of Carinola, also known
as the City of the Angels and the Pompeii of the XV Century.

In many
ways, this borgo in Caserta Province is a microcosm of all the things visitors
to Italy look for: history, culture, traditions and a local community waiting
to show you around.

The Town
and Surrounding Territory stand out for palaces, museums, cathedrals and
convents from the XI to the XV Centuries:XV C.
palazzo Petrucci, the XI C.
Cathedral, Casa
Marzano – XV C, the remains
of an XI C. Norman Castle, the XI C.
Church of the Annunciation and a XIII C.
Franciscan Convent.

Local Food Specialties that can be tasted at the Farmers
Museum, including:the local
olive oil, varieties
of cheese, homemade
breads with garlic and tomatoes, unique
dishes with beans, eggs, zucchini and sun dried tomatoes and assorted liquors and sweets.

Roman Era theater, a V C. Basilica in the Claudius Forum
and the archeological museum

You can
experience all of this in a just a few hours but we can also arrange for an
overnight stay in a quaint farmhouse or make this area of Campania region your
base from which you can experience other borgoes as well as take advantage of
some great beaches nearby.
